That's a cool link to a site where you can convert virtually any measurement to any other measurement system.
FYI: 220 C is roughly 425 degrees, and 180 C is roughly 350 degrees. (C = Centigrade)
…and 400g (grams) of ground beef is just under one pound.

Yep, it's peppers. We would probably only hear the term capsicum when referring to hot peppers.

that's where I heard it, so I figured. Patrick just picked his first jalapeno pepper, so we may have to use it in this recipe!

I think it would be the same as sweet bell peppers as opposed to hot peppers but I may be wrong

Sorry — I didn't say that very plainly. Yes, it means plain old red and/or green peppers. But the only time we would hear the word capsicum is when someone is talking about the heat level of a pepper, or as an ingredient in a topical rub for muscle pain.

Yep, those are what we call bell peppers.
It really is fun looking at recipes from different lands. So interesting as we figure out what the different things are. Sometimes it works out well, like this time, when the food is readily available here but called something else. Thanks for bearing with us as we go through this, Kimmie!

What a cool page — great pictures and descriptions of each color of pepper (the sweet ones, not the hot ones). Do you have a different name for hot peppers like jalepenos or serranos?

No we call the hot ones the same name as you do :]
It is fun looking at recipes from different places and adapting them to suit hey!
If I say something that you don't understand or want clarification at any time just sing out ok, tis no problem at all.
